The internet browsers keep changing to new versions all the time. When internet explorer came out as a critical update it started causing problems with systems. There were problems with the downloading of pictures on to a Face book page. There were all kinds of problems going on. Here is a link to some of the problems that were encountered. Check out this link http://news.softpedia.com/news/IE10-on-Windows-7-No-Thanks-Many-Users-Are-Saying-338753.shtml it has some useful information.
The only solution was to go into the control panel and then to programs uninstall in vista or windows 7.
You then click on view installed updates and wait until it loads up. The next step is to look down the list and find internet explorer 10. Once found choose to uninstall it and the computer will then reboot. Once the system has rebooted go to internet explorer and make sure it is back to internet explorer 9. Run update again and when it comes back again choose to hide it. Now run updates again and check the optional updates, because it will come in as an optional update. At this point choose to hide it again, so it will never be reinstalled.
Well now Microsoft has come out with Internet Explorer 11.
As usual it is having some problems. After it is installed an audio cd will no longer play. It may play the first song in the track. When it gets to the next song it goes no further. If you try to manually select the next song in the track windows media player just keeps spinning. There is a fix out for this problem.
Here is just one link to some of the problems internet explorer 11 is causing http://technet.microsoft.com/library/dn338138.aspx check it out. All you have to do is a search on the internet for problems with internet explorer 11 and you will find quite a few. I all else fails with windows 7, go back to internet explorer 9 until all the bugs are worked out. The other choice is wait for internet explorer 12 and then have all new problems.
Another choice in the browsers category is Mozilla Firefox.
Currently Firefox is up to version 25, which could change at any moment. I use it and have not had any problems. It seems to be pretty stable. I would just always check for updates due to security risks. Once installed you can import your favorites from internet explorer to it.
Finally the next browser I would suggest using is Google Chrome.
I like Google Chrome, because it seems to be a little faster than the previous two browsers. I had heard individuals say that it is less secure and brings in viruses. This is an unfounded fact and just not true. The problem is not the browser, but where the person using it goes. I have had it stop me from going to some sites, because it might see something as a threat. I use it and it works just fine.
There are other search browsers out there. My advise is before you go and install any other search browser use Google and do a search on it for reviews or problems it may cause. I can not tell you how many times I see viruses that have changed the search browser in internet explorer, Firefox and chrome. If you do get a virus then as part of the cleaning process reset the browser completely. Check the managed ad ons in internet explorer and remove them. You may have to use a program such as highjack this to remove them.
To reset internet explorer go to tools, internet options and then click the advanced tab. Down towards the bottom of the window is reset explorer settings. remember to check mark the delete personal settings, because the infections may have put something in there. There is also the Microsoft fix it program choice which will do it for you. Here is a link for information http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 .
With Firefox go to help at the top and then to trouble shooting information and the click on the reset
button. Here is a link on how to perform it http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/reset-firefox-easily-fix-most-problems .
To reset Google Chrome click on the chrome menu on the right side of the display. Next select settings and then click on show advanced settings at the bottom of the window. Next click on reset browser settings at the bottom of the now extended window. I would also suggest to clear the history from all time and check the extensions. You can choose to remove them if you did not choose to install them. Here is a link on how to perform the reset https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/3296214?hl=en .
